Off the beaten path in London

I am going to London for 5 days and want to go to restaurants that are off the beaten path, ornate but of course great food. I would prefer restaurants that are not uber expensive, but if the food is good its worth it!

Momo on Heddon Street (off Regent Street) is definitely an ornate restaurant serving Moroccan influenced food that is surprisingly tasty for such a sceney restaurant but it's not exactly off the beaten path unless being subterranean and in an alley way qualifies it as such.

You could also check out a place called CVO Firevault, an interesting bar/restaurant in the basement of a fireplace showroom or else Wapping Food, a restaurant in a converted hydraulic power station. I wouldn't say stellar food at either place but perfectly respectable fare and interesting, unique and some might say ornate surroundings which are off the beaten path.
